sneak a peek

Busy doesn't even begin to describe what we've been lately.  Being involved in the actual building of a home, is gratifying and exhausting.  Here's a little peek of some of our projects.  Please ignore the dust, smudges, unfinished things, and my Mr. Homemakers saggy britches- he's been working so hard, helping me make this wonderful house into a blessed homey home.  What do ya think???

"In the other gardens

And all up the vale,

From the autumn bonfies

See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over

And all the summer flowers,

The red fire blazes,

the grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons!

Something bright in all,

Flowers in the summer

Fires in the fall! "

I haven't forgotten about you dear friends- as soon as this busyness is over (tile laying, wall painting, wood floor installing etc), I will have alot of new pictures and tidbits of decorating advice.

Love you all,
